A special to one Of our exchanges says
"The chances are that Calvin p. Graves W IL
not be tried during the present term of the
Washington County Court now in session
Attorney General Baker will be unable to at
tend before the 10th of next month. and as
the business will be disposed of in less than a
week it IS not probable that Judge Foster will
hold the court over until then" Mr.. Baker
informs US that the case will in all pro6abii-
ty be tried at this term, although he may not
be able to attend to 1t before the ninth. At
one time there was talk that change OF venue
to Kennebec county would be asked by
the State, as it was said the feeling for
Graves was very strong in Washington coun-
ly. But this plan has been given up, for 1t
turns out that the inhabitants of the seaport
towns are very decided against the wicked
murderer of the game wardens, and none of
the shackers, who are known to favor
Graves, will be allowed to serve on the jury.
He has already been indicted for murder in
the first degree. In addition to this case the
Attorney General has another capital trial on
bis hands, that in Lincoln county.

ST. MARKS HOME
Annual Report of the Joint Com m

Annual tepOrJ Oh the john
The joint committee of the corporation ant
manager of St. Marks Home, beg to present
their annual report for the year ending March
3lst, 1887:
The average number of residents during
the year has been ten, and the health of the
household has been on the whole as good az
could be expected among aged people
Great inconvenience has been occasioned
by the imperfect condition Of the street sew
err upon which the Home is obliged to de-
pend for drainage. This entirely collaps'
ed in December, and the result was con
tinuous floudiug of the cellar, and for time
the extinguishment of the furnace fire. Greal
expense has consequently been incurred. Al
the present time and for many weeks past. II
has required the constant work OF small
steam pump, night and day, to keep the Gel
lar free from water. 1t is hoped and expected
that the city will complete the Winthrop St
sewer without delay, and that permanent re
lief will thus be obtained.
MANY thanks are due to some kind friends
of the Home who donated to the treasury the
sum of $500, as the result of an entertain
ment given for the benefit of the institution
II ia the desire of the donors that the sun
should, if possible, be kept intact and added
TO the 500 already in hand for future endow
ment. If this be done, the apparently large
balance on hand will be reduced to 1922, ana
it is to be remembered that the bill OF ex
pense for pumping and sewerage has not We
been paid, so that this balance will soon b'
still further reduced, and that very mate
